SPOKE-FINISHING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 679,61 1, dated July30, 1901.

Application filed April 11, 1901. Serial No. 55,318. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. ENSIGN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Defiance, in the county of Defiance and State of Ohio,have invented a new and Improved Spoke-Finishing Machine, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to woodworking machinery; and its object is toprovide certain new and useful improvements in spoke-finishing machineswhereby the spokes are accurately and uniformly finished both at thethroat and face without requiring the employment of skilled labor.

'The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the improvement. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sideelevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 4cis an enlarged transverse section of part of the improvement,showing thedriving-gear. Fig. 5 is an enlarged front elevation of the sand-bandpulleys. Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional front elevation of thespoke-holder and driving-gear for the spoke'holder sockets. Fig. 7 is atransverse section of the same on the line 7 7 in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is aplan View of the locking-catch for the spokeholder. Fig. 9 is a faceview of one of the sockets for the tenon of a spoke. Fig. 10is a frontview of the tenon end of an unfinished spoke, and Fig. 11 is a like viewof the tenon end of a finished spoke.

The spokeholderA is preferably provided with sets of tenon-sockets A andbutt-sockets A for supporting at one time three spokes B B B of whichthe spoke B is a newly-inserted unfinished spoke. The spoke B is actedon by the endless traveling sand-band O to finish the throat of thespoke, and B is acted on at its face by a revoluble sand wheel or disk Dto finish the face of the spoke after the throat thereof has beenfinished by the sand-band 0. (See Fig. 11.)

The spoke-holder A is mounted to turn and to slide bodily with arevoluble and slidable shaft E, disposed horizontally and carrying atits left-hand end a pattern F, abutting against a stop F, said left-handend of the shaft being mounted to turn in a bearing G, mounted to slidein the direction of the length of the shaft E in guideways H, held on aplate 11, mounted to swing on the top of a bed-head I, mounted 011 thebed I of the machine. The plate H is f ulcrurned on a vertical shaft E,journaled in a bearing 1 on the bed-head I, (see Fig. 3,) and said shaftE carries at its upper end a bevel gear-wheel E in mesh with a similarbevel gear-wheel E having its hub mounted to turn in a bearing Gr,secured to the right-hand end of the plate H. The rightrhand end of theshaft E is mounted to slide in and to turn with the bevel gear-wheel Eso that the shaft E is turned when the shaft E is rotated, and at thesame time the shaft E is free to slide in the direction of its length,so as to shift the spoke-holder A and the spokes B B carried thereon,correspondingly and also permit the plate H to swing transversely on thetop of the bed-head 1, according to the movement given to the bearing Gand said plate H by the revolving pattern F abutting against the stop F,it being understood that aspring H (see Fig. 2) pulls on the plate H andholds the pattern F against the stop F. A synchronous sliding andturning motion is given to the shaft E by suitable devices actuated froma cam-shaft J, driven from the main shaft K, connected with thesand-band O, to impart a traveling motion thereto, the said main shaft Kbeing also connected with the sand-wheel D to rotate the latter, and thesaid sand-wheel D is moved transversely to and from the spoke bymechanism actuated by said cam-shaft J, as hereinafter more fullydescribed.

The main shaft K is provided with a pulley K, connected by a belt K withother machinery for rotating the shaft K, and on the latter is alsosecured a second pulley L, over which passes a belt L, also passing overa cone-pulley L mounted to rotate loosely on with a gear-wheel Lfastened on a shaft L carrying a pinion L in mesh with a gearwheel Lsecured on the cam-shaft J, so that when the main shaft K is rotated thesaid pulleys L L the belt L, the pinion L the gear-wheel L, the pinion Land the gearwheel L will impart a reduced rotary motion to the shaft J.The shafts J, K, and L mentioned are journaled in suitable bearings onthe bed I, and on the right-hand end of the shaft J is secured a bevelgear-wheel N, in mesh with a bevel gear-wheel N, on which is mounted toturn and to slide a shaft N connected by a universal joint N with ashaft N journaled at its forward end in a bearing 1 depending from abearing 1 and on the forward end of said shaft N is secured a bevelgear-wheel N in mesh with a similar gearwheel N (see Fig. 3,) secured onthe lower end of the shaft E, so that when the camshaft J.is rotated, aspreviously mentioned, a rotarymotion is given to the shaft E by theconnection mentioned, and as said shaft E is geared to the shaft E it isevident that the latter is rotated from and at the same rate 0 speed asthe cam-shaft-J.

On the cam-shaft J is secured a canrwheelg 0, having its cam-grooveengaged by a friction-roller 0, (see Fig. 1,) journaled on one end of alever 0 fulcrumed at or near its middle, at O on a bracket 1 attached tothe bed I, and the other end of said lever O is pivotally connected by alink 0 with a col; lar O adjustably held on a rod 0 mounted to slide insuitable bearings 1 attached to the bed I. The right-hand end of the rod0. carries a shifting fork O engaging a shifting collar 0 held on theright end of the shaft E, so that when the shaft J is rotated, and withit the cam-wheel 0, then a sliding motion is given to the said shaft Efrom said cam-wheel by the connection just described.

On the left-hand end of the cam-shaft J is secured a cam-disk P, againstthe peripheral surface of which abuts a shoe P, held on a rod P mountedto slide in bearings 1 attached to the bed I, and the forward end ofsaid rod P has a swivel connection P with a rod P, carrying a shiftingfork P engaging a shifting collar P held on the outer end of the shaftD, carrying the sand-wheel D. A spring 1?, connected with the rod Pholds the shoe P in peripheral contact with the surface of the cam-diskP, and when the shaftis rotated, and with it the cam-disk, then asliding motion is given to the rod P to shift the shaft P transverselyin its bearings and move the sand-wheel D quickly in engagement with theface of the spoke to finish the said face and then to move itimmediately out of engagement with the face back into an outermostinactive position.

On the maindriving-shaft K is secured a pulley Q, over which passes abelt Q, also passing over a pulley Q secured on the shaft 0, carrying apulley 0 over which passes the sand-band C, also passing at its forwardend over pulleys C C, having their shafts journaled in suitable bearings0 secured on a slide 0 held adjustably by ascrew-rod C on guideways I onthe bed I, as is plainly illustrated in Fig. 2.

By reference to Figs. 1, 4L, and 5 it will be seen' that the sand-band Ocan be readily slipped over the pulleys C C O to permit of convenientlychanging the sand-band when it is worn out or a new one is needed or oneof different quality is to be used for finishing the throats of thespokes.

The detail construction of the spoke-holder A is as follows: Each of thetench-sockets A is secured on a shaft A (see Fig. 6,) journaled in ahead A secured to a sleeve A through which extends loosely thespoke-holder shaft E, and on said sleeve A is secured a head A, in whichare mounted to rotate spindles A carrying the butt-sockets A Springs Apress against the inner ends of the spindles A so as to hold the spokessecurely in place in a set of sockets A A and at the same time permitthe operator to push the socket A to the right when removing a spoke orplacing a new one in position in the sockets A A The shafts A carryingthe tench-sockets A, are rotated from the shaft E, and for this purposethe latter is provided with a gearwheel R, in mesh with gear-wheels R,secured on the shafts A so that when the shaft E is rotated the saidgearing rotates the shaft A and the sockets A, and as the spokes B B Bare securely held in said sockets A and in the sockets A it is evidentthat the spokes and sockets A rotate with the sockets A.

In order to temporarily hold the sleeve A and the heads A A fromrotating, a catch S is provided adapted to engage one of a series ofnotches in a disk A forming part of the head A. (See Figs. 6 and 7.) Thecatch Sis pivoted at S on a bearing S held longitudinally adjustable ona flange H extending on the plate H in the direction of its length, asis plainly shown in Fig. 3, and said bearing S is adapted to be securedon said flange H by a setsorew S On the catch S is secured a handle S bymeans of a set-screw S and a spring S", held on the bearing S pressesthe catch S so as to engage the same with a notch in the disk A wheneverthe holder A has been turned by hand to bring the catch in register witha notch. By the operator moving the handle Stransversely the catch S isswung out of engagement with the disk A", so as to permit of givingone-third of a turn to the spoke-holder, and thereby bring anewly-inserted spoke in engagement with the sandband C and to bringanother spoke that has been operated upon by the sand-band O in positionfor engagement by the sand-Wheel D, it being understood that thespoke-holder is turned by the operator in the direction of the arrow a,as indicated in Fig. 7

IIS

In order to cause the spoke-holder A to move bodily with the shaft Ewhen the latter receives a sliding motion from the cam-shaft J, aspreviously described, the shaft E is provided with collars E E (see Fig.6,) of which the collar E is adjacent to the gear-Wheel R, and thecollar E is at the end of the head A. The collar Ementioned may be thehub of the gear-wheel R.

The stop F for the pattern F is in the form of a vertically-disposedroller journaled in a transverse bar F ad j ustabl y held in a bracket Fattached to the bed-head -I, as is plainly shown in Fig. 2, and said baris adjustable transversely by a screw-rod F", and after the desiredadjustment has been made the bar is locked to the bracket F by a boltThe head I of the bed I can be adjusted to bring the spoke-holder A intoan angular position relatively to the face of the sand-band O and alsotransversely adjusted to bring the spoke holder nearer to or fartherfrom said sandhand 0. For the purpose mentioned the bed I is providedwith a slide 1 adapted to be moved transversely bya screw-rod 1 and onthe slide 1 is formed a pivot 1 engaging the head 1, so that the lattercan be turned on said pivot and bodily moved transversely on moving theslide 1 Screw-rods I connect the slide 1 with the head I, so as to lockthe head in place after it has been turned to the desired angularposition on the pivot 1 The operation is as follows: Then the main shaftK is rotated, the spokes B B B are rotated and moved bodily transverselyand longitudinally, owing to the action of the pattern F and the slidingmotion given to the shaft E and the spoke-holder A thereon. The spoke Bis now in engagement with the sandband C, and during the movement ofsaid spoke B the throat B is abraded by the sand band, With theexception of the face B", as during the time the face approaches thesandband the spoke moves from the left to the right, so that theleft-hand edge of the sand band gradually leaves the face B" and is atthe end or point B of said face 13 at the time said face B faces thesand-band. The spoke B is now moved from the rightto the left, and as itturns at the same time the face B moves away from the face of thesandband C, so that the latter now abrades the throat on the oppositeside of the face B without touching the latter. The sliding of thespokes is done very quickly, as will be readily understood by referenceto the form of the cam-wheel 0 shown in Fig. 1. During the time thisoperation takes place the spoke B which had its throat already treatedby the sand-band C in the previous operation, is engaged at its face Bby the face of the sand-wheel D immediately previous to the beginning ofthe sliding of the spoke-holder, so that the said face'is abraded togive it a very fine finish, it being understood that the sand-wheel D isbut a moment in contact with the face B", and consequently the slow thenunlocks the spokeholder by moving the catch S out of engagement with thenotched disk A, and finally turns the spoke-holder until the catch Sengages the next following notch to again lock the spoke-holder againstturning on the shaft E. The newly-inserted spoke has its throat nowfirst finished at the sand-band C, while the spoke previously operatedis now faced at the sand-Wheel D.

It is understood that the head A of the spoke-holder is adjusted on thesleeve A ac cording to the length of the spokes to be treated, and thehead I is adjusted transversely and angularly relatively to the face ofthe sand-band 0, according to the thickness of the spokes and theirshapes at the throat or tenon ends.

The catch S is made sufficiently long (see Figs. 3 and 8) to allow thesliding movement of the spoke-holder without disengaging the catch fromthe notched disk A As it is the duty of the operator to simply removethe finished spokes, place unfinished spokes in position, andperiodically unlock and turn the spoke-holder, it is evident that noskilled labor is required to tend the machine. A large amount offinelyfinished Work is turned out by the machine in a comparativelyshort time.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1.
